Qualification and notional component raw mark grade …

1 June 2019 Series Qualification and notional component raw mark grade boundaries Reformed A Levels Linear qualificationsA Levels are linear qualifications . This means all the assessment takes place at the end of the course. Linear qualifications are made up of a number of separate exams or non-exam assessment (coursework) called components .How do we calculate your A Level grade using grade boundaries ?In most cases, we just add the component marks together to get your total mark. For a few qualifications, some components are worth more than the others so we have to work this out first (see below).We check the total mark against the qualification grade boundaries to get your qualification grade boundariesWe know it s useful to see how you did in each component so we also publish component grade boundaries . These show what the grade would be if we gave out grades for components. Grades at component level don t automatically add up to the same grade at qualification marksThe mark you get on each exam paper or non-exam assessment will be your component mark.

2 You don t get a grade for each component just a mark. This is sometimes called a raw markThis is the total of your component gradeThis is your final result and what will appear on your grade boundariesA grade boundary is the minimum mark you need to get a grade . For example, if the grade boundary for a grade C is 160 marks, you need to get at least 160 to achieve a grade C. A mark of 159 would therefore be a grade boundaries for linear qualifications are set at qualification level. This means it s how you did overall which decides your qualification 1 mark53 grade A*ABCDEMark25222819416012692 component 2 mark54 component 3 mark60++=Total mark167 GradeCComponent 1 mark(Raw mark weighting factor)64(48 )Weighting factors and weighted marksEach component contributes a certain percentage to the total qualification mark. In most cases, this contribution is equal but not always. We use weighting factors to make sure each component contributes the right amount towards the total example, a qualification has three components marked out of 60, 60 and 40 and components 1 and 2 are weighted to be each worth 40% of the total marks:What happens if one component is worth more than another?
